The goal of the Migrant Education Program is to ensure that all migrant students reach challenging academic standards and graduate with a high school diploma that prepares them for responsible citizenship, further learning, and productive employment.

The purpose of the Migrant Education Program (MEP) is to ensure that migrant children fully benefit from the same free public education provided to other children. To achieve this purpose, the MEP addresses the special educational needs of all migrant children to better enable children to succeed academically. More specifically, the purpose of the MEP is to:

Support high-quality and comprehensive educational programs for migrant children in order to reduce the educational disruption and other problems that result from repeated moves;

Ensure that migrant children who move among the States are not penalized in any manner by disparities among the States in curriculum, gradudation requirements, and State academic content and student academic achievement standards;

Ensure that migrant children are provided with appropriate opportunities to meet the same challenging State academic content and student academic achievement standards that all children are expected to meet;

Design programs to help migrant children overcome educational disruption, cultural and language barriers, social isolation, various, health-related problems and other factors that inhibit their ability to do well in school, and to prepare them to make a successful transition to post-secondary education or employment; and

Ensure that migrant children benefit from State and local systemic reforms.
